Hello and welcome to AtheistAdam.com

My real name is Adam Jones. I am a 31 years old and I live in Melbourne Australia. I am social media addict and a passionate outspoken atheist.

My academic background is in Science after completing a Bachelor of Science degree in 1996 where I majored in Genetics, Ecology and Conservation Biology. I firmly believe that my atheism is a direct and logical result of my exploration and understanding of evolutionary theory and genetics.

My research and understanding of evolution has brought me to a personal views on atheism that lines up closely with the views of Richard Dawkins who is the worlds most well known and outspoken atheist. As like Richard Dawkins, I have also come to the conclusion that evolutionary theory is fundamentally hostile to religion. I am convinced that the two world views are completely incompatible. The fact of the matter is that a true understanding of Darwinism is deeply corrosive to religious faith. This however should not deter anybody any truth-seekers from exploring the subject of evolution. Recently atheism has developed into a world wide movement, with it’s goal being to combat superstition and encourage rational fact-based reasoning.

The harsh truth is that we are entering an increasingly dangerous period in life’s history. It is now abundantly clear that:

* Our species use of the finite resources of our planet is growing exponentially

* Our population is growing exponentially

* Our technological ability to change the environment (for good or bad) is growing exponentially

Unfortunately, our genetic code still carries our selfish and aggressive instincts that were of survival advantage in the past but no longer serve to our benefit. The greatest minds on earth have concluded that it will be very difficult for our species to avoid disaster in the next 100 years. We need to wake up to reality and rethink our place in the universe. All indications are that unless we make a dramatic shift in our current direction then we are destined to self-destruction. In order to face the truth it is important that we first see life as it is… and not only as we would like it to be.

I have created AtheistAdam.com as a platform through which people can openly enter into a real-time conversation with other people and discuss their beliefs. I encourage everybody to be respectful and courteous towards people who hold different views to your own.

I firmly believe that our generation is faced with the biggest challenge ever faced throughout human history. Reason and truth are under threat. Meanwhile, life on our planet is currently experiencing an unprecedented extinction rate and the major life support systems of our planet are on the verge of collapse.  The natural systems that have provided a habitable environment for our species existence are rapidly changing. We need to wake up and wake up quick. Most experts now agree that unless we drastically change our current course then our species and life on earth may soon face a disastrous future. Big changes must occur soon if we are to avoid turning this future into a reality.

We all have a moral obligation to stand up for rationality and truth. Never before has the cause been so worthy.

Atheism is the only belief system that is FULLY compatible with our current understanding of the natural sciences.

Whatever your world view, I think it would be fair to say that most of us are quickly waking up to the reality that we all must understand nature if we are to avoid a future full of war and conflict. Fortunately, the internet has provided an amazingly powerful tool for learning. We can now connect like never before. The social media revolution has given anybody with an internet connection a voice and the ability to gain a global education.

I encourage everybody to join a conversation and speak your mind. Feel free to follow me on Twitter!

Finally, I want to thank you for visiting AtheistAdam.com

Peace to all,
Adam Jones

P.S. My favorite book is “The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” but I disagree that the answer is 42
